CNN Pundit: No Wonder Dems Are Distraught, Obama ‘Produced Trump,’ And Biden Made Him ‘Stronger’

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings delivered an election post-mortem on Wednesday, and explained how the Democratic Party’s tunnel vision — with regard to removing now-President-Elect Donald Trump from American politics — backfired in such spectacular fashion.

Jennings began by saying that he certainly understood why members of a party that had been entirely dedicated to that particular mission would be feeling upset after dedicating nearly a decade to it.

“As Joe Biden speaks today, his legacy is that Donald Trump has never been more popular or more powerful,” Jennings posted on X, sharing a clip of the discussion that took place on CNN the night before. “Obama produced Trump in 2016, and Biden only served to strengthen him. Total failure of the Democratic Party.”

“The Democratic Party — you’re right, it is hard to lose. You know, Republicans went through this after 2012,” Jennings said. “And I think about the condition of the Democratic Party — it’s been almost fully oriented around Trump for a decade.”

“And look at Biden. His basic campaign promise, initially, was to rid the country of Trump and Trump-ism,” Jennings continued. “And as he leaves office, Trump, Trump-ism, and the MAGA movement is stronger than ever. So not only are you just dealing with the wreckage of having lost an election, you’re dealing with the total failure of the project of the current president as he set it out when he got elected in the first place.”

Jennings went on to argue that the Democrats should not be looking at the election loss as simply a tactical failure, but that deeper questions about what the party stood for still needed to be answered.

“I think both parties go through this after these kinds of losses, but when you look at how Biden is leaving, the very thing he vowed to rid us of is now the ascendant political movement in this country,” Jennings concluded. “It’s got to be a pretty demoralizing feeling.”

Of Trump, Jennings said, “He’s never been stronger, he’s never been more popular, and he’s never been in a stronger political position to execute.”
